About

Intersections is Shan Rizvi's notebook of open letters, peace architecture, and technical lab notes. The essays move between heads-of-state diplomacy, semantic graph memory design, and the mystical traditions that still inform modern governance.

Each piece is an attempt to weave neuroscience, theology, and emerging AI into strategies that make reconciliation and human-centric intelligence feel actionable.
